6N England v Ireland

[Daffy Jaffy]

[Bones]

That'll be a yellow

[Bones]

Not much mitigation though.

Oh geez

[Bones]

Hang on, isn't the mitigation that it's head on head? It wasn't a high shot.

[The Irishman]

Absolute shit show. Rules are destroying the game. Yellow all the way. Like the Italy game last week, it destroys the competitiveness.

[Billy Tell]

Yet another match ruined.

Should have tackled less upright though and I don’t think Ryan will be back either.

Pretty sure we can expect a "levelling" card before halftime. Curry just took a clean out to the head.

I would prefer 14 vs 14 TBH.

Reckon you won't have to wait long

[Bones]

Whaaaat....Irish player held up forever, maul breaks up and he gets one knee to the ground, ref calls tackle?

[Billy Tell]

Has Super Rugby still got 20 min red cards?

[Bones]

Yellow against Ireland surely? High shot in English player.

[Bones]

That's bullshit to not look at the high shot on Slade.

[Bones]

Calf or Achilles for Curry. England forwards are going to run out of puff...

Yep. Eddie’s genius selection of one specialist flanker in the 23 coming home to roost

The sending off was a fucking disgrace. That crowd in Twickenham have paid big money and the game was ruined in the second minute. Quickest sending off in 5/6 Nations history.

Hint to World Rugby, the punters aren't playing to watch the referee.

There has to be a better way to ensure player safety than just using Red Cards for something which is obviously not malicious. Give a Penalty Try and a Yellow Card?
